Tag Management
The #1 YouTube tag list tool
Centralize all your YouTube tags in one convenient location. Find proven tags and boost your rankings effortlessly.
Find and save proven tags for future videos
Researching tags to categorize and optimize your videos is an essential job for any YouTube creator. But it's hard to find the time to do it right with everything else on your plate.
TubeBuddy’s YouTube Tag Management lets you shortcut your tag research, showing you which tags your competitors are using to get seen by the YouTube algorithm and to help their content rank in search.
With just a few clicks, you can copy their best-performing tags and use them in your latest content to ensure it resonates with your target audience and performs better in the search engines.


Create new videos from existing tag lists
Have you ever wanted to create a video around a topic that you already researched? With Tag Management, you can take the tags from existing videos and add them to your most recent uploads so you can optimize them faster than ever.
Just copy the tags, create a new list, and you're done. It's like giving your newest content a head start in the race for views and engagement.
Reorder your video tags with drag-and-drop ease
Since YouTube removed the ability to reorder tags in the video details page, arranging them in a specific order requires you to remove all your tags and manually re-enter them—a huge time sink.
Tag Management gives you the power to tidy up your tags in any way you want once again. With an easy drag-and-drop interface, you can quickly arrange your tags, ensuring your most important and relevant tags are prioritized at the top of the list.
